Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Right? They definitely should give them at least a full minute. But I adore Melanie. I feel like Sasha is a lightly more versatile dancer, but there's just something special about Melanie. I can't articulate. But I'll be happy if either of them win.

I just thought of a great finale bit -- Instead of the random solo, each dancer gets to pick a choreographer and the two of them choreograph a decent length routine (say three minutes) I would really like the opportunity to see what they can do when my focus isn't pulled by someone else, and by having a choreographer in the mix, the playing field is leveled.

Didn't look like one to me.

I feel like the choreography should just be better this week. They are all working with what they've been given, but they all have to do SO MUCH this week, sub-par choreography just shouldn't be allowed.

Because books.

I will say, the spank startled me. My inner prude emerges at the weirdest times.

I really liked that Marko/Lauren routine. Very pretty.

Vortex, that is a brilliant idea!

Marko and Lauren were very good together!

I really love Tadd's solos. I like the way he makes unusual music choices, but they work so well. Has he ever chosen a "traditional" hip hop number to dance to?
